BGD — our project for a gold-backed token
BENOUARETH GOLD AND DIAMONDS is studying the issue of a digital token, BGD, each unit of which would represent one gram of fine gold from our operations in Sierra Leone and Guinea. This page sets out the project as it stands.
Where the project stands
The token has not been issued. No contract is deployed to date, no sale is open and no payment is being asked for. You can leave us your details to be told when it launches.
- Token: not issued
- ERC-20 contract: not deployed
- Sale: closed
- Gold backing: to come
What one BGD would represent
- Unit
- 1 BGD = one gram of fine gold (999.9)
- Pre-launch sale price
- 99.99 USDT, set by the company
- Intended standard
- ERC-20 (Ethereum)
- Issuer
- BENOUARETH GOLD AND DIAMONDS — Freetown, Sierra Leone
- Network, contract address, total supply
- To be published at launch
That figure is a sale price set by the company for the pre-launch phase. It does not track the gold price, which moves every day; the gap between the two can widen either way.
First subscribers
This price is reserved for the first subscribers and holds until the token goes to market; after that it is the market that sets the price. The list of people to be told first is being drawn up now: joining it commits you to nothing, asks for no payment, and does not reserve any quantity.

Difference
The gold price quoted is a market figure on the date shown, given so the difference can be checked rather than taken on trust. It moves every day, and the difference moves with it.
What it would rest on
We buy gold and diamonds from licensed producers, refine them and export them with a complete documentary file. The token would attach a digital claim to that actual production rather than to a market value. The operations it would represent are set out in detail on the pages below.
The four stages, in order
Where the project is going, and in what order. We are at the first stage: nothing is offered for sale, and the backing described at stage three does not exist yet.
Avant-première — where we are
The price above is reserved for the first subscribers and holds until the token goes to market. Nothing is sold today: we are building the list of people to be told first.
Going to market
The ERC-20 contract is deployed, its code verified and its address published, so anyone can check the supply in circulation for themselves. That is when the token exists.
Backing by gold
The token is then tied to the reserves: the gold represented is identified, held and attested by a third party in a dated report. Until that is done BGD is not backed — this is the stage that makes it so.
The platform
A platform of our own, to hold and trade the token, is planned to follow. It does not exist yet.
One thing applies throughout: a token backed by an asset is a regulated instrument in most countries, and the applicable framework has to be settled before any offer to the public.
Reserve ahead of the issue
Open an investor account and tell us the amount you have in mind. We come back to you with the discount band it falls in, and the terms in writing. Nothing is charged here: the token is not issued, and no payment details appear on this page.
What happens next: we check the file, come back to you with the band and the terms, and the written contract is signed before anything is paid.
